Apparantly fever back and abdomen pain means possible uti...?.

[pavlovthecat]

does this mean I should not go to work tomorrow?

I thought I pulled a muscle in my back, but pain sort of throbs to the lower front of my abdomen, hurts worse when I am sitting (work was excruciating today), moving helps a bit, but if I shift it hurts like mad, and feels like my organs are a bit squished, been feeling a bit unwell, so took temp at it is 101. Not really a fever. A bit of an exageration.

Did some research - Dr pavlovthecat has diagnosed possible UTI...could it be?

I am just hoping for the day off, need to catch up on some sleep!

Hmm dp suffers with recurrent UTIs due to chronic health prob.He often gets pain in abdomen and kidney area,fever (was 40 yesterday prior to him being admitted) Rigors (shakes and shivers),vomiting.Are you getting pain on passing urine or is it cloudy/offensive smelling.These can all be indicative of UTI.hth

Wrinkly - no, none of those. And certainly not a fever of the scale your DH has .

I guess if thats what happens, its not a UTI . I read a few sites including NHS direct FWIW, which said that not all UTI's display all symptoms, and sometimes the passing urine painfully is not always apparant.

The main issue, well only issue is the movement of pain. It is always in the lower back, does not leave there, but spreads to the front/sides/top of legs too, mainly to the base of belly, internal pain if that makes sense.

I should prob go to see Dr rather than self-diagnose. but i hate Dr and was only there a couple of weeks ago . Feel like a fraud

I would go back,just to get it checked out. Good luck
